Ninghai, this severely underrated coastal city!

🌊 Ninghai has truly become my favorite summer vacation spot for taking the kids and escaping the heat in recent years. With mountains on one side and the sea on the other, plus delicious seafood, the best part is the super comfortable temperatures in the mornings and evenings. You don't even need to turn on the air conditioner, it's much cooler than the city. 😎 🚗 Recommended self-driving itinerary (1 hour from Ningbo city, 2 hours from Hangzhou): DAY1: Ninghai Shuanglin - Liya Luo Water Park - (Qiantong Ancient Town) - Hot Spring Hotel DAY2: Yancang Mountain Waterfall - Qiangjiao Town - Return Day1: Departure🛫 - Hotel🏨 Afternoon: Ninghai Shuanglin The whole way is filled with babbling streams, you can just find a dam to go down and play in the water, it's simply a water paradise. Evening🌆: Nearby Liya Luo Water Park The weather is not hot, especially suitable for children to play, and the online ticket prices are super affordable. Night: You can soak in the Ninghai hot springs♨️ at the hotel or take a dip in the hotel swimming pool. Day2: Morning: Yancang Mountain Waterfall (free, 1 hour is enough) This place is super natural, with many pools where children can play in the water. Zhang Ruoyun's "Sword Snow Stride" was filmed here, and the waterfall is great for photos. Noon: Qiangjiao Town (have lunch and take some photos) This place is known as the little Jeju of Ningbo, the coastal road is really photogenic, it's beautiful! There are also many cafes along the road in Qiangjiao Town, with greenery on one side and the sea on the other. Afternoon: Return Other attractions: 1. Qiantong Ancient Town (free entry at night) 2. Longgong Ancient Village, with ancient houses and stone roads, the ancient village is very beautiful. 3. Xiyou Temple, a temple hidden in the mountains, with a pagoda and Buddha statues built on the mountain, perfect for stunning photos. 🎈 Come to Ninghai and start a pleasant trip with your kids, let them have fun between the mountains and waters. 😉
